Overheard at the Vatican:



Pope Francis enjoying the bling

"Yeah, that's right. They are calling me the 'Slum Pope' because I like hanging out with poor people. What can I tell you? I like the poor. They are always glad to see you, particularly if you have food in your pockets. They are easier to manipulate than people with money, too. Why, you can take a poor kid from the slums and do just about anything to them. I mean, for them. For them. Shit. Don't print that."

Pope Francis, who is facing some criticism for his past support for and failure to speak out against the military dictatorship in Argentina in the 1970s

"Gee.... a pope who didn't speak out against a military dictatorship.... when did that ever happen in history? Oh wait, wasn't it Pope Pius XII who was really cozy with Adolf Hitler? Don't these guys know their fucking history?"

Francis the Talking Mule, reported namesake for the new pope
